Chapter 144: Mr. Lian is fascinated by the vixen
In the early morning of Yi day, Lin Yun was woken up by a burst of cheers from his sleep.
He got dressed and got up, opened the window and looked outside. It turned out that Feng Ziying and Du Sha were competing below, with a group of boatmen and servants watching and cheering them on.
Lin Yun called Xiao Mo and fetched water to wash himself.
As soon as his place was cleaned up, Jia Lian's servant Xing'er came to the door.
After Xing'er saluted him, he said to Lin Yun with a grimace: "Young nephew, our second master is fascinated by the little vixen named Yimei. You have to find a way to make the second master calm down. It's not a small matter.
I can’t explain it to my second grandma when I go back.”
Lin Yun said in surprise: "Brother Lian didn't come back to rest last night?"
"No, he hasn't come back yet."
Lin Yun was speechless for a while when he heard this. The girl Yimei the Xue family brought out was so cheap that she would fall in love with her as soon as they met her.
He thought for a while and said, "Go and tell Brother Lian that I have something to discuss with him."
"Thank you, young nephew."
Xing'er said something and ran quickly outside the window cabin.
Just when Feng Ziying came in from outside, the two almost bumped into each other.
"I'm sorry! Mr. Feng."
Xing'er confessed to Feng Ziying and then ran away quickly.
Feng Ziying: "What's wrong with him? It's like he picked up a gold ingot."
Lin Yun changed the topic and said: "Ziying, I am going to visit an elder today. Do you want to go with me?"
Feng Ziying quickly shook her head and said: "I won't go, it's good to just watch the show here."
"That's fine, you can just stay on the boat. However, I'm not here, so you must not fight with others."
"Don't worry, as long as no one comes to provoke me, I will never cause trouble."
…
During breakfast, Jia Lian appeared in front of Lin Yun with a tired look on his face.
As soon as they met, he said eagerly: "Brother Yun, I have something to ask you for help."
Lin Yun: "Brother Lian, if you want to help Miss Yimei redeem her life, then you'd better not open your mouth."
"Well,"
Jia Lian was so upset by Lin Yundao that he immediately blushed.
Feng Ziying teased from the side: "Second brother Lian, the brothel girl, just give me some money, why should you take it seriously?"
"Go! Go! Go."
Jia Lian pushed Feng Ziying away, sat down next to Lin Yun and said, "Brother Yun, I have promised Miss Yimei to redeem her life. You can't let me break my promise to a woman, right?"
Lin Yun: "It's easy to redeem her, but after she's redeemed, what do you want to do with her?"
"Of course I'll take it back to Beijing."
Lin Yun said speechlessly: "What are you thinking? Let alone Sister-in-law Feng, even the old lady will not let you take a brothel girl as your concubine."
"I can keep her outside."
"Do you think paper can contain fire?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Second brother Lian, if you bring someone back to Beijing, I'm sure Sister-in-law Feng will know about it within a month. By then, you won't be able to live a happy life."
Jia Lian said with a bitter face: "Then I can't just keep my word, right?"
Feng Ziying teased: "How can you talk about integrity with a prostitute?"
Jia Lian said angrily: "What's wrong with the prostitutes? Can't they be honest?"
Feng Ziying: "I can guarantee you that as soon as you return to Beijing, she will find a home immediately."
Jia Lian: "You are talking nonsense. Miss Yimei is definitely not the kind of woman you say."
"Believe it or not."
Feng Ziying raised her hand to wipe her mouth, stood up and walked out of the warehouse door.
Jia Lian still wanted to explain a few words to Lin Yun, but his young boy Xing'er walked in and reported to him: "Second Master, Uncle Xue is here."
Jia Lian said happily: "Please invite him in quickly."
"yes."
Not long after Xing'er went out, he saw Xue Pan running in with a happy face. He cupped his fists and saluted the two of them and said, "My little brother, please say hello to your two brothers."
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Brother Xue, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and talk."
Xue Pan sat down next to Jia Lian, smiled at him and said: "Second brother Lian, how was Miss Yimei's service yesterday?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's okay. By the way, Brother Xue, I have something to ask you for help."
Xue Pan said hurriedly: "Second Brother Lian, just give me your orders. Your business is my business, but if you ask for anything, I will never refuse."
Jia Lian said happily: "I want to help Miss Yimei redeem her life. See if it can be convenient."
"What?"
As if his butt was burned by fire, Xue Pan stood up and said: "Brother Lian, are you kidding me?"
Jia Lian said with a dark face: "Do I seem like a joker?"
Xue Pan said with a bitter face: "Second Brother Lian, Miss Yimei is the top star of our Songzhu Pavilion who has worked hard to get her. If she is redeemed by you, my brothel will be in trouble."
After a pause, Xue Pan added: "Besides, these important matters related to business are all the responsibility of the housekeepers, so even what I say doesn't count."
Jia Lian said frustratedly: "You are just a freeloader at home."
Xue Pan chuckled and said, "Brother Lian, if you really want to redeem Miss Yimei's life, just go and talk to my mother. As long as she is willing to speak, this matter will be easy."
Jia Lian said awkwardly: "How can I have the nerve to talk to my aunt about this kind of thing?"
Xue Pan took out two invitations from his arms and handed them to them: "Second brother Lian, eldest brother Lin, and younger brother are here to invite you to a banquet at my house."
Jia Lian: "I'm going to visit my father-in-law at his home today, but I'm afraid I won't have time to go there."
Xue Pan said hurriedly: "You can visit your eldest cousin at his house first, and then make an appointment with your eldest cousin to go to my house for a drink together."
After saying that, he turned to Lin Yun and asked: "Brother Lin, you won't be disrespectful, right?"
Lin Yun smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. I was just thinking about whether I should go to my house and ask my aunt to accompany me."
Xue Pan said happily: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
…
At Xue Pan's urging, Lin Yun and Jia Lian prepared gifts and visited the Wang family first.
Although the head of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng, went to the capital, his brother Wang Zisheng and his family stayed in Jinling.
I don't know if Wang Zisheng was at home or if he was deliberately hiding away. When Lin Yun and Jia Lian came over, Wang Ren was still the one receiving them.
Wang Ren explained to several people that he had gone out to a banquet and was not at home.
Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately invited Wang Ren to have a banquet with him at Xue's house.
Wang Ren declined because he had urgent matters to attend to and did not agree to Xue Pan's invitation.
Lin Yun naturally understood in his heart that the Wang family did not want to see him, so Jia Lian was also left out.
After coming out of Wang's house, Jia Lian was very dissatisfied and felt that he had lost face in front of Lin Yun.
Xue Pan was so heartless that he kept talking about the delicacies he had prepared and how he would stay drunk with Jia Lian and Lin Yun today.
When Lin Yun heard this, he wanted to complain. This kid didn't even have hair, but he could drink. Aunt Xue was such a weird tutor.
However, he was still a little looking forward to seeing Sister Bao later.
